Hola Bill,
Gracias por el e-mail. No estoy nada de acuerdo con tu evaluación de tu noche en Cobb’s. La primera audiencia fue tan pesada. Creo que todos estaban muy resentidos por el mal servicio y la falta de unos buenos tragos al comienzo. Quien sabe. Te juro que me divertí una cantidad, aún la segunda vez (granted I was bit looped by then, having fulfilled my two drink minimum in the second half of the first show.)
Felicitaciones en tu show con Comedy Central. Mandé la información a mi hermano y creo que va a ir con su esposa. Ella es brasileña (no sé si califica para la entrada gratis). No importa. Te quieren apoyar de todas maneras y los dos entienden mucho español. Lo siento pero ya no tengo más contactos en nyc. I’m sure my bro will try spread the word. Good luck. Wish I could be there.

Bill,
At Cobb's. You were hilarious. I never thought about the
evolution/fossil fuel thing before. I'm still laughing about it.
Hope to see you in SF again.

Hi Bill,
Your performance on Thursday in Marin was amazing. You've got so much energy and your humor is so intelligent. It was a pleasure to watch you and talk to you after the show. I particularly liked the joke about the rat and cat -- "watch a self correcting universe." Enjoy your time in San Francisco and if you are as good at Salsa as you are at making people laugh, I would love to witness that performance as well.
All the best,
L.

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed listening to you on KPFA
just now.
Here at home in a blue county oasis amid a red state hell (kansas),
your article made me laugh out loud.
Thanks...I needed that!
I'll look for the article in MoJo for my husband to read.

Well written hilarious article. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Where can I find more of your written wit?

Mr Santiago:
I enjoyed the "intelligent design" essay in Mother Jones online. It's
fun to see "trompe l’oeil" used once in a while. It works better in
print than in conversation, even more so in Knoxville.
It's strange to me that people don't realize evolution IS "intelligent
design." I mean, sorta. I'm sorta stuck on "intelligent design" being
redundant, but that's the pedagogue in me.
I keep hoping that God will speak to me some day and he will sound
like Titus Moody. Or Jack Gifford, maybe.
The other person cc'd here is a local gadfly who tipped her friends off
to this beautiful essay.
Thanks,
Jack

Touché! I have not laughed so hard in a very long, long time. I really need a rise beyond the daily drivel of a species that didn't just invent the concept of the Peter Principle (as observed by Dr. L. J. Peter) but gave business a free hand in both the control and formation of our contemporary socio-cultural values. My favorite explication of of this principle can be found at
http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/PETERPR.html.
Thanks for the laugh

Sitting in a small neighborhood library, which by
the way is one of the old Carnegie libraries in
St. Paul, MN...very sweet. Reading your article,
"Freedom Starts at the Cookie Jar," laughing
outloud, causing a disturbance...oh well...and
along came a BFO (Blinding Flash of the Obvious).
I would hope that at some point in your career
if you ever get to Chicago, get ahold of Luis
Alberto Urrea and connect. It may mean history.
He's an amazing writer...as you seem to be. It's
a connection that popped up for me...
Thanks,
Brigid O'Connor

Bill!
Just wanted to say congratulations on your career…I met you briefly at the Victoria Theater a few years ago when you did a set for the Latin Kings of Comedy movie…I was the MC…That was my third time ever on stage as a “comic” and well, you witnessed it, so I won’t go into it…I will say that since I’ve gotten back into it (the Victoria was my third and last gig for a while—my wife and I just had a baby and it wasn’t possible for me to put the time into comedy during the pregnancy etc., etc.), I do the open mic. at Pepperbelly’s in Fairfield, CA (where I live) every Wenesday, and you’ll be glad to know that I have worked my way up to having a solid 4-minute routine…little by little, right?
Aaaaanyway, as a Latino I’m very proud of you, and as an aspiring comic I’m inspired by your accomplishments. Good job, Bill. Keep it up!

Bill Santiago - just more naturally funny - intellectual, witty - drew experience from real life and also had a sort of comic physical presence - shyness at first was pretty apparent but suited him - he got more comfortable and took cues from the audience. i thought it seemed pretty inherent to his performance - the best tonight by far.

Wassup Bill?
I first saw you on Premium Blend and I recently saw your special on Comedy Central which was great. I really like your work especially the Spanglish. When I was in High School I loved taking Spanish my first two years but when my senior year came around I had this crazy teacher and I sucked at the beginning of the year. But by the end of the year I averaged one point below an A and that crazy teacher couldn’t give me a point. But it helped with speaking Spanish and it seems like every time I turn to the Spanish channel I start speaking it like I’m a Latino or Hispanic. I kind of get that same vibe when I see you perform.

Dear Mr. Santiago,
I saw you when you opened up for Lewis Black a few years ago in Minneapolis and you were great. I am part of the University of Maryland's humor newspaper, the Maryland Cow Nipple, and one of our objectives next year is to bring a comedian to campus. We are located just outside of DC. I was wondering if you could send me some information about your schedule for the late summer and fall and about your pricing for shows. We are working on our budget and need an idea of how much we would need to save to bring a comedian to campus.
Thank you.

Hi Bill,
I saw you perform at Mother Jone's "State of the Union" in New York City last year at Town Hall. I've been dying to see another performance (I've never seen a comedian who could make me laugh so much!), but I'm having a difficult time finding a calendar of bookings.
Do you have one online anywhere? Is there a way I can access one? I really love your work and appreciate your humor!
Thanks!!
